32-Core 3000-Series AMD Threadripper surfaces

The excitment for the Zen 2 based threadripperes is building, the 16-core threadripper surfaced on various places last month and now the 32-core variant's benches have leaked, thanks to the leakster momomo_us. The Geekbench picture shows the name "AMD Sharkstooth" with single core score of 5932, just behind the i9-9900KF which leads the scene and multi-core a whoophing 93344, roughly double the i9-9960X which leads the charts at 49807.

The chip ran at a base clock of 3.6 GHz, sadly for now, we don't know the boost clocks and the impact the beefed up clocks could have on the single-core scores, but the multi-core scores are certainly pretty exciting for the 32-core behemoth and a huge upgrade from the preceeding threadrippers.

The cache figures were similarly exciting with 2MB of L1 cache (1MB each for instruction-set and data-set), 16MB of L2 cache and 128 MB of L3 cache, yes 128, though only half of the top-level EPYC release recently but nearly 5 times the i9-9960X, in roughly the similar price-range!

What do you expect from the Zen 2 TR range, do you feel there will be a 64-core variant? Let us know in the comments below!
